Be Careful What You Wish For

[docat]

She will stop at nothing.

[docat]

Don't they all want to be Indians? We could give them cards, they could be like "Special Indians".

I think you just hijacked the Zeke and Skull hijack thread.

[muskrat_skull]

Not if we had something they want.

Continued thread hijack...

[muskrat_skull]

Me, the queen of hijack has been bettered by a princess and a muskrat! How embarrassing!

Oh, [MENTION=101915]docat[/MENTION]..... you've got some tough competition from last year's hijack queen!!



She would stoop to any level...

[muskrat_skull]

Holy cats! Here we have [MENTION=11084]Zeke[/MENTION], the powwow princess and [MENTION=127906]muskrat_skull[/MENTION] aka Da Skull conspiring to HIJACK the wish thread!!!! Caught RED HANDED too! I wasn't even gone that long!

And in MY thread! Me, the queen of hijack has been bettered by a princess and a muskrat! How embarrassing!

Oh, I thought this thread had turned into, well, you know a vacant lot. I think the desert is reclaiming it by now.



Oh, look, its so dead people are riding camels through it!

Is sovereignty and government funding mutually exclusive?

Not if we had something they want.

Continued thread hijack...

[docat]

No.

But it strikes me as a "be careful what you wish for" moment.

You may be right, well I anwered it. Is sovereignty and government funding mutually exclusive?

In the answer I treated it as so. But I don't think it should be.

[Zeke]

[MENTION=11084]Zeke[/MENTION] Is this your wish?

No.

you get a nice cozy fire going and turns into a blaze.....i come over and roast marshmallows on whats left of your house

i wish i had a maid.....i FINE one with a big booty

Oh this is like magic! I can't believe it. Milehigh got a maid. Yes, but this maid is fine...very fine...you can hardly see her work her magic. The Giver of All Wishes thought you meant you wanted a maid with a big booty...meaning "goods gained by looting."

And she's mighty fine at looting your goods. Your bank account is empty. You come home and nothing is left but some wires where the ceiling lamp once was. She tidied up all right...now she's off to ebay to sell her booty...and back on Craigslist to get another situation since you have nothing more to loot.

I wish my checkbook would balance!

[muskrat_skull]

I don't think I have anything to add to that monstrosity. LOL I'm gonna leave you hanging on that one. ROTFL

"I wish I was the craft-matic, and could do any craft, including beading and leather and woodworking and stone and bone and all perfectly!" ---Da Skull

OH you become the craftiest craft matic. Even Martha Stewart is GREEN with envy. You make things even out of trash and it all comes out looking great. You can take a road kill hide and make a "killer" (lol) handbag. You bead with quickness and ease. Your beads are all organized. Your workspace is tidy. You have everything labeled for your quick use.

The problem is...you can only see close up. All those years of crafting, you have a non-correctable near sightedness. You can't see beyond a couple feet from all that close work.

You figure, that's not a big deal, your joy is in your crafting, but (I haven't killed anyone off in awhile) you couldn't see when you walked in front of a bus. And that's just too bad...and while mourning for you, your son says, Hey Docat, why don't you take ALL my mom's craft supplies for yourself. She would want YOU to have it all.

LOL

I wish I could figure out how to start a campfire in the rain. (It's raining cats and dogs here).

You sit in the rain for hours, rubbing two sticks together. Then your good ole buddy muskrat comes. She takes the wet wood off and has you blow on it until it drys. Meanwhile, she has some lighter knot from her back yard and a bic. She lights that fat lighter and puts it on some punk wood and gets it going. Pretty soon your fire is a blaze.

You are so amazed at how well that fat lighter works, you want to put on more and more. Soon the fire is really high. Your neighbors see it and come out of their houses.

You smile and wave, and turn fast to go get marshmallows, but the back of your flowing dress flies out and catches on fire. You don't listen to the shouts from your neighbors and wave and go inside your house. your skirt catches the drapes and boom, the whole place is on fire.

You still think you are just having hot flashes though.

I wish [MENTION=9312]lbgood[/MENTION] and [MENTION=66121]Toolbox[/MENTION] would get in an epic battle of wits and beauty.

Bumped for [MENTION=101915]docat[/MENTION] she has to have something to say about this!

Is this your wish?

ROTFL, I think he's got the wrong thread! The princess has tread where no princess has tread before. And the steps weren't dainty either.

[muskrat_skull]

Tribes get the 100% full sovereignty they've pressed for over decades then realize the only reason they've survived as political entities is because of government support.

[MENTION=11084]Zeke[/MENTION] Is this your wish?

Okay, tribes get the full sovereignty they've worked for. People feel better about things and now they face money trouble. There are sick people who can't get health care and it is an emergency situation. Wealthy Indians and everyone works hard to help.

Suddenly, Americans who are disgruntled with American government pledge allegiance to the Sovereign NDN nations and many of them are the super wealthy and they pledge more than enough money.

The sovereign nations incorporate all the property owned by these people as part of the sovereign nations, not as part of the tribe but as auxiliary sovereign protectorates. So many people support the sovereign nations that soon they have many factories, industry, and similar resources to the army.

Meanwhile, the American government has no tax base and is in financial ruin, owing everyone including the sovereign nations due to old treaty debts and the sovereign nations are in a strong position to negotiate.

Soon, the American government collapses. The racist people flee the country, and the sovereign nations, as good hearted people, absorb the remaining Americans who wish it under their government control.

So now they are sovereign and in control but they have all these non-tribal citizens all around them to deal with.
